Balmoral Announces Final Approval for Graduation to TSX

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Aug. 15, 2013) - Balmoral Resources Ltd. ("Balmoral" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:BAR)(OTCQX:BALMF) is pleased to announce that it has received final approval for the listing of the Company's common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX").

Balmoral's common shares will commence trading on the TSX effective as of the open of the market on Friday, August 16th, 2013. Upon listing on the TSX, the common shares of the Company will continue to trade under the symbol "BAR".

In conjunction with the listing on the TSX, the Company's common shares will be delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange following the close of trading today, August 15th 2013.

The TSX is the premier stock exchange for resource companies and Balmoral believes that the move to the TSX will facilitate simpler and more comprehensive access to a broader range of international and institutional investors and capital pools. The increased exposure for the Company comes at a time when the focus in the gold business is turning to expanding high-grade gold assets in jurisdictions with lower political, cultural and economic risk profiles like those under exploration by Balmoral in Quebec.

Balmoral is a Canadian-based precious metal exploration and development company focused on high-grade gold discoveries along the Detour Gold Trend in Quebec, Canada. With a philosophy of creating value through the drill bit and with a focus on proven productive precious metal belts, Balmoral is following an established formula with a goal of maximizing shareholder value through discovery and definition of high-grade, Canadian gold assets.

On behalf of the board of directors of BALMORAL RESOURCES LTD.

Darin Wagner, President and CEO
